Duck with neck problems - Help and Advice need

[CrispyDuck]

Two week old duckling is walking with its head under its chest. He normally walks backwards and in circles but can walk forward when prompted with food or water. Its eating and drinking normally and can hold his head upright for a short length of time.

I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do to help him straighten his neck and walk normally. Is it diet related, he's currently being feed duck starter crumb, or will he grow out of it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I want to be able give him the best quality of life.
